With their early window acquisitions, Ipswich Town has demonstrated that they will not settle for merely filling out the stats in the Premier League; they have already shattered their transfer record to make a significant impact.
Tractor Boys fans would have been thrilled to see Omari Hutchinson arrive through the door for a whopping £22 million, and they would have also cheered for Ben Johnson’s more cunning free transfer acquisition from West Ham United, who would have strengthened the defense in Suffolk
With this next prospective acquisition, who may blow up the Premier League if he comes, Kieran McKenna and co. might decide to go back to making big-ticket deals rather than spending wisely.
Ipswich and a sought-after Hull City player are in negotiations
Ipswich is getting closer to acquiring the talented Hull City winger Jaden Philogene-Bidace this transfer window, according to football journalist Nick Mashiter via BBC Sport. McKenna is trying to strengthen the team’s already exciting attack at Portman in preparation for the challenge of the top division.
The report states that Ipswich and Hull are in ‘advanced talks’ over a move getting over the line, with Philogene wanting to test himself in the Premier League, despite interest coming from the likes of Barcelona from La Liga.
Even with more established Premier League outfits in the form of Everton and West Ham United also being noted as interested parties, Philogene believes Ipswich to be his best onward destination away from the MKM Stadium as per BBC Sport, with McKenna over the moon at landing another statement signing if all goes to plan.
